incense shop owner

Xia Guhan parked the little eDonkey at the gate of the film and television city, and walked into the film and television city with a takeaway bag.

Now is the hottest season of the year, the sun is scorching hot, and every tourist who walks in the sun can't wait to get into the air-conditioned room, his body is dripping with sweat.

Xia Guhan was like a normal person, his skin exposed to the sun didn't have any sweat.

He drooped his brows and eyes, and his whole body was lazy, as if he had just woken up.

Even so, passers-by on the road cast their eyes on him one after another, always suspecting that he is an actor of a certain crew in the film and television city, because his appearance is really too high.

Xia Guhan did indeed walk towards the filming area where tourists stopped. As soon as he made a phone call, someone took Xia Guhan to the crew.

Xia Guhan was delivering food to a horror film crew called "The Cry of the Ancient House", but what he delivered was not human food, but offerings such as incense sticks and ingots for the dead.

The person who came to pick up Xia Guhan was the assistant director of the crew. Xia Guhan came to the crew with the assistant director. The staff of the crew saw the bag in Xia Guhan's hand and started whispering.

"How many times is this today? This time it won't burn itself again, will it?"

"Tomorrow is the Ghost Festival, do you think it will be..."

"Don't talk nonsense! It must be too hot, the sun is shining and causing spontaneous combustion. How can there be those things in broad daylight?"

……

The assistant director heard it and glared at them, and then they stopped discussing and continued to work on the matter at hand.

Not long after, the assistant director pointed to a location from a distance, and said to Xia Guhan, "Just put the things there."

After speaking, he turned around and left, his footsteps hurriedly showing a little fear, as if something was chasing after him.

Xia Guhan walked over slowly and was about to put down his things when he saw incense ash accumulated on the ground.

A gleam of understanding flashed in his sleepy eyes.

No wonder the production crew called him to ask him to deliver food. It turned out that all the incense candles and ingots prepared by the production crew spontaneously ignited, but these things were used in several scenes at night.

Xia Guhan put down the takeaway bag, and a cool breath came over his face.

Others couldn't see what was going on, but Xia Guhan clearly saw a ghostly old man in a Tang suit suddenly pounce on the incense stick Yuanbao, and took a sip obsessively.

The old ghost first let out a "huh", and the next second his face showed ecstasy. The quality of the incense sticks and ingots this time is very good, and the smell of incense is much stronger than the previous few times.

The ghost old man repeated his old trick, controlling Yin Qi and took out a lighter from the staff member's pocket.

I saw the lighter flew out with a whiz, and finally hung on the incense sticks and ingots.

With a "click", the old man pressed the lighter with Yin Qi, and a cluster of flames shot out from the lighter.

The moment the flames came out, the old ghost stepped back a few steps in fear, lighting the incense like a person who is afraid of firecrackers going to light firecrackers.The only difference is that people cover their ears with one hand, while the ghost old man covers his eyes.

The previous few times, it was always on at one point, but this time the old ghost tried for a long time, but the incense didn't even light up.

The old ghost didn't believe in evil, so he covered his eyes and went to order some ingots.

Still won't light.

The old ghost was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and threw the lighter with a snap.

Ghost old man: "Garbage incense sticks, cheat my feelings!"

After speaking, he got up and floated away with his hands behind his back.

Xia Guhan witnessed everything from the sidelines, and he had no intention of intervening.

But when he thought that after these things were burned, he would have to send them over again, and he would feel bad all over, so he immediately put a layer of aura on the incense sticks and ingots.

After the ghost old man couldn't light the incense and ingots, Xia Guhan turned around and left.

not far away.

The director shouted with a loudspeaker: "Where's the actor playing the Daochang? Why hasn't he come?"

"Director, that actor got into a car accident on the road and couldn't come."

Director: "Then hurry up and find me a co-star..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xia Guhan not far away, and hurriedly shouted at Xia Guhan: "That so-and-so, come here."

Whoever doesn't know who he is, just keeps going.

The director hurriedly put down the horn and rushed over to stop Xia Guhan. Looking closer, he felt the impact of Xia Guhan's appearance more clearly. The director was even more satisfied, "It's you."

Xia Guhan opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

Forget it, too lazy to explain.

The assistant director saw the director dragging Xia Guhan over, and hurried forward to explain, "Director, this gentleman is not an actor, he is the owner of a nearby incense shop."

"The owner of the incense shop?" The director touched his bald forehead, and laughed loudly: "Hello, the owner of the incense shop, professional counterpart, acting in true colors!"

Assistant director: "Then you also have to see if they are willing or not."

It was only then that the director remembered this episode: "Our actor playing the Taoist priest had an accident, can you help us with the scene?"

Xia Guhan wanted to refuse, but when he thought that he only had a three-digit savings left, he couldn't say no.

Xia Guhan frowned and said, "How much?"

Director: "One scene counts as 500 for you, and you have five scenes in total."

Five hundred for one game, and two thousand five for five games.

After the performance, the incense shop will not need to open for a month.

It's a good deal.

Seeing that Xia Guhan didn't answer right away, the director raised the price again: "How about this, I'll give you three thousand after the performance."

Xia Guhan: "Day end?"

Director: "It's over after the show."

Xia Guhan: "Deal."

The director smiled boldly, and immediately called the assistant director over to give a lecture to Xia Guhan.

Xia Guhan's play is very simple.

"The Horror of the Ancient House" tells the story of the five protagonists playing a courage test game and coming to an ancient house known as a haunted house.

Then encounter a series of horrible events in the old house.

The screenwriter was writing while filming, and at the end of the writing, he found that it was a bit out of touch, so he parachuted a Taoist priest into the ancient house to rescue the protagonist group of five.

At the end of the film, the protagonist group of five woke up from the hospital bed and saw a Taoist priest in a white coat.

The Taoist told them that they fell into a dry well after entering the ancient house, and after being rescued, they fell into a coma until now. As for the horrific events they encountered, they were just hallucinations under extreme panic.

He is not a Taoist priest either, he is a doctor.

Xia Guhan listened to the assistant director finish the plot, he was stunned because he couldn't find the logic of the upper and lower connections.

Oh, he forgot that domestic horror films do not need logic.

After Xia Guhan finished his makeup and put on the Taoist robe prepared by the crew, night had already fallen.

The director rubbed his forehead, the more he looked at Xia Guhan, the more he was satisfied, and said to the art director: "I have thought about the posters, put him in the center of the posters, the characters must be big and clear. One is wearing Taoist robes, the other is wearing white Put on a coat, stand back to back. When the time comes, put it on the movie theater, oh ho, I don’t know how many girls will be attracted.”

The art director pushed the glasses: "Director, he is not the protagonist. There are not enough cafes to take the center position."

The director was confident: "I don't need any logic, what kind of coffee do I need?"

Then, the director yelled "start" with a loudspeaker.

In the dark and gloomy old house, the five protagonists were frightened and fled everywhere, screaming endlessly.

Seeing that they were about to be chased and killed by the ghosts, suddenly a clear and pleasant bell sounded.

The protagonist group of five was shocked at first, and then saw a beam of light coming from the end of the corridor, which was so dazzling that it instantly dispelled the gloom around them.

A slender figure approached slowly in the white light, with fluttering robes, full of immortality.

When the visitor walked in, the protagonist group of five could see clearly that the visitor was a Taoist priest wearing a golden Taoist robe, and he was very handsome.

The group of five roared towards the Taoist priest, yelling, "Help, Taoist priest!"

Xia Guhan shook the bell in his hand, it was an emotionless machine that read lines, "The poor way passed by here, and found that there is a lot of resentment above this ancient house, and there is fear of evil spirits."

Group of five: "Help, Daoist!"

Xia Guhan continued to read the lines: "The poor Taoist will go and eliminate the evil spirits, and send you home."

Group of five: "The Taoist leader is mighty!"

According to the scene told by the assistant director, Xia Guhan took out the incense stick from the cloth bag he carried, and when he was about to ignite it, his hands paused.

The air suddenly sank, and the noisy sounds around disappeared instantly, as if the still button was pressed all of a sudden.

"tick" "tick"...

There was water falling from overhead.

Xia Guhan silently took a step back and raised his head slowly.

His eyes suddenly met a pair of dark eyes without any whites.

This is a female ghost, with black hair hanging down like a waterfall, skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood.

She stared at Xia Guhan for a moment, then suddenly grinned, "Little brother looks really good-looking."

A scarlet tongue spit out from her mouth, stretched quickly, and licked towards Xia Guhan with sticky liquid.

Xia Guhan frowned, the sleepiness and laziness in his eyes receded, and they became sharper instantly.

He took out a mahogany sword from the cloth bag——the crew was quite conscientious, and the mahogany sword was really made of mahogany.

The peach wood sword came through the air with aura, and instantly cut the female ghost's tongue.

"Ahhh-"

The female ghost screamed and looked at the tongue in disbelief on the ground. The tongue had just been cut off, it was still fresh, and it kept bouncing on the ground.

Female ghost: "How about seeing me?" (Can you see me?)

The tongue was broken, and she started talking with her tongue out.

Xia Guhan stood tall and tall, with an appearance of immortality, and continued to read his lines: "Naughty animal! Take your life!"

The female ghost was completely enraged, her long black hair was tangled up in a bunch and shot towards Xia Guhan, sweeping towards Xia Guhan.

Xia Guhan stood safely in the center of the storm with a mahogany sword in his hand, holding the sword flower in his hand, the shadow of the sword was heavy, and he twisted towards the black hair.

Although he really wanted to deal with Li Gui right away, when the assistant director told him about the play, he said that he stood under the camera and waved the mahogany sword casually, and he couldn't stop until the director filmed enough material to stop him.

After receiving 3000 yuan from the director, he must have professional ethics.

I can only fight with the female ghost once.

Of course, the female ghost cannot be seen in the director's monitor, but in the eyes of ordinary people, only Xia Guhan's aura suddenly changed, and the peach wood sword bought for two yuan was played by Xia Guhan. .

The director's eyes stared at the monitor screen without blinking. It was obvious that Xia Guhan was not dancing casually. The connection between each move was crisp and neat. The movements were simple but concealed sharpness. Really like having a purpose.

The Taoist robe fluttered with Xia Guhan's movements, and the picture was very beautiful.

If it wasn't for the on-site permission, the director would have applauded long ago.

After finally filming enough material, the director yelled "Cut" with unsatisfied meaning.

Immediately afterwards, he proudly said to the assistant director at the side: "Let me just say it, a professional counterpart, and act in your true colors!"

The assistant director didn't expect such a good effect. He nodded in agreement and hurriedly sent a message to his old friend.

Assistant director: "Old Zhou, the production team has found a good seed here, so hurry up and get in touch with it."

As he spoke, he sent the picture he just took with his mobile phone.

Within minutes, he received a reply.

Lao Zhou: Stand still, I'll be right over!

With the director's "click", a long whip with spiritual energy appeared in Xia Guhan's hand, and the long whip swam towards the female ghost as if it was alive.

The female ghost didn't even have time to react, so she was rolled up by the long whip and pulled off.

The female ghost wanted to struggle, but found that she couldn't move, and her other abilities disappeared.

Only then did he realize that he had met an expert.

The female ghost's frightening look faded away, and she turned into a pretty girl, begging for mercy immediately, "Grandpa Tianshi, please forgive me, I have no intention of harming anyone!"

He turned to the corner and said, "Grandpa Zhang, come out and testify for me!"

Immediately, an old ghost floated out of the corner, it was the one who stole the incense earlier, he interceded for the female ghost: "I can testify that she has not hurt a single person since she became a ghost, at best... People can't see her, and she has molested a few people."

The female ghost smiled shyly: "Who doesn't love the pretty little brother?"
